General :: Networking - Setup A Server In Iowa?
Oct 16, 2009
I have set up servers between two computers hooked up to the same router. But something has bothered me for years, i would think there is a simple(relatively speaking) way this works.
I can't seem to understand is how to setup a server in Iowa, and have someone in Colorado access it.
All IP addresses Ive seen are 192.168.x.x., which obviously can't hold too many, so accessing a server in Iowa isn't going to work by just knowing the IPaddress the computer will tell you.
Ive run into DNS, netmask, gateways, and I can understand at least somewhat how they work, but it hasn't helped me to make a connection from thousands of miles away.
From what I can understand, I would need to find out multiple addresses(IP?), between each step the transaction would have to travel. Is this close to how it works? and how do I find out the info/addresses I need to find a server miles away?

I set up a ubuntu server 10.04 lts as file server in a network filled with xp, win 2003 and win 2008.
I noticed that if from any bill's SO machine i copy a file (for example a vob file of 1gb, or a lot of doc and pdf files) in the samba server, while the copy is in progress if in another windows I browse other folders shared in Samba, the copy process stops and say ' the name in the network is no more available( or something like this). It seems that samba pay attention on the fact that a user is browsing the share and doing so it seems that Samba forget that in one of its share there was a copy in progress, very annoing. A file server cannot do that, in this way is useless.

I have ubuntu 11.04, so I type the command python -m SimpleHTTPServer 7000, this simple web server will be running on. then open firefox, type http://localhost:7000 in URL and hit enter,it will show up the list of files of the directory where I typed the command python -m SimpleHTTPServer 7000 on, then select any one file, right click mouse, choose save link as, the file will be downloaded. this works also for local network machines.the issue is that my friend, in a remote place, wants to download my files via this simple web server, but it does not work, even I tell him my IP address and port number. it seems he can't access it at all. I am wondering how to setup my ubuntu so that my friends from the outside of my network can access the files that I intend to provide.

My ISP seems to be having some configuration problems cos of which I cant download certain files (mostly exe and msi and some rpm files) as the download either doesnt start (firefox download window showing "Starting..." all the time) or download gets stuck at some point of time.
However I have access to my college computer through SSH using public key authentication and my college computer has internet access 24x7. I would like to be helped with 2 things:
How do I use the internet through my college computer? Like when I use the internet, the requests go through my college computer so it must appear that the requests come from my college computer IP while I use firefox from my home computer How do I configure yum to download packages through my college computer? I want to setup yum to use the IP of my college computer to download the packages.

I have setup a dhcpd server on my lan with the following option to reflect the static route to my private LAN.
dhcpd.conf
Code:
option static-routes 10.0.0.0 192.16.5.0
I've tested it on OpenSUSE, ArchLinux and even Windows dhcp clients and they've managed to pull the static route configuration. However, to my suprise on my ubuntu machines this doesn't seem to load. Is there anything that needs to be done on the client's side to get this to work?

I just installed ubuntu server 10.04. I want to connect to my wireless router(192.168.123.254). My router normally has wpa but I turned off encryption until I can get the server working. my router has MAC flitering which it has my servers MAC address and the dhcp server on my router is configured to assigned an ip address of 192.168.123.123 to my server.
On the server I do see wlan0 when I do sudo ifconfig -a. HOw do I setup the rest? I 'm very new with command line and linux so please bear with me.

I am working on setting up some networking connections here. [URL]. Depending on your router make and model. You can disable the dhcp server on the router if you go to advanced setup and in the dhcp option You should find two radio buttons off and on click off and you will disable the dhcp server on the router refer to your router documentations. I do not wish to disable the DHCP on my router (2wire). I have fixed the router so it assigns static IP addresses - by following the Management and Console Diagnostic" portion on this page: [URL]. There are 7 machines getting IP addresses from the 2wire router. Of the 7, I have configured 4 to have static IP addresses allocated to them by the router.
For example, the domain here is : 2wire.gateway.net
If I have a host named "zazu", and I ping zazu.2wire.gateway.net, I get the right IP address.
I am working with a product (ZIMBRA) that
-> requires for the host to "have MX records".
-> that you get a FQDN when typing "hostname"
-> that you get a FQDN when typing "hostname -f"
Basically, the way it is supposed to be set up is:
ZIMBRA (internal) <----> Kerio Mail Server (Windows) <---> email from the outside world
So, in a sense, the Kerio Mail Server is to forward mail received from the outside world to ZIMBRA and ZIMBRA is to send mail to the Kerio Mail Server to send it to the outside world. From what I see at these links: [URL] And [URL]. You have to set up some kind of DNS server? Why? Don't both the DHCP server and DNS server serve the same thing? How can I incorporate a DNS server into my setup when the 2wire (with DHCP) is working just fine?

setup 2 gateway in my email server(opensuse).
now i wan to setup 2 internet lines for my email server, which mean that either one of the line is down, i still can receive mail from another line.
Example
Internet line 1 = ISP1
Internet line 2 = ISP2
my email server got 3 nic which...
eth0 = 192.168.1.2 (255.255.255.0) (from ISP1 GW 192.168.1.1)
eth1 = 192.168.2.2 (255.255.255.0) (from ISP2 GW 192.168..2.1)
eth2 = 168.168.1.2 (255.255.0.0) (connect to local LAN)
now existing GW set on the server is 192.168.1.1, mail receive and send through ISP1. now we wish to set somethings that once the ISP1 line is down, the server will auto switch to ISP2 gateway and continue send and receive mail without manually change of settings

I've got a home server running Ubuntu Server 9.04 and several machines running Ubuntu Desktop (9.04 and 8.04) and Windows (XP, Vista and 7). Now what I want to do is to create a domain and directory server similar in function to Windows Server w/ AD and join my other machines to the domain, but am not sure where to start. I already have file shares with Samba but now I want to setup a domain.

We are trying to set up a NIS server on a CentOS system. We need to have a NIS server which can provide NIS authentication to a couple of clients. We are practically new to all this stuff.
Just googled to find some ideas about installing ypserv and ypbind and portmapper. We did all that and also started them successfully. But now the clients are not able to join to the NIS domain . The error log states "YP_DOMAIN NOT BOUND".
I guess we have not entered the /etc/yp.conf, /etc/hosts files properly. Please let us know the detailed steps to setup a NIS server .
Also, please let us know what entries should go into the different /etc/<file_names>? What is meant by HOSTNAME in the /etc/hosts file?
Is there any other files which need to be changed? Are we missing any steps?
Also to add-on, while executing the ypinit command we faced the following error:
At this point, we have to construct a list of the hosts which will run NIS servers. localhost.localdomain is in the list of NIS server hosts. Please cont inue to add the names for the other hosts, one per line. When you are done with the list, type a <control D>. next host to add: localhost.localdomain next host to add:
The current list of NIS servers looks like this:
Is this correct? [y/n: y] y

I decided to forgo my router's DHCP capabilites and try to make a random computer at my home take on the job.
First of all here's my network topology:
I have a cable modem hooked up to eth0 on my linux box, and this is where my internet comes from and works fine.
I also have another ethernet, eth1, which is connected to a wireless router in bridge mode. My end goal is to have my linux box sit between my internal network and the outside world. Thus it will need to act as a DHCP server, a NAT and as a firewall. Right now I'm just focused on the DHCP part.
Here is a copy of my dhcpd.conf file:
My /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd file has:
However the issue is that it is still listening on eth0. and not issuing any leases on my internal network.
What I think is happening is that it's not recognizing the 10.0.1.x subnet because my router is issuing leases on the 169.254.193.x, even though I put it on bridge mode. But I could be totally off mark.
Also running tcpdump on eth1, I can see requests coming in for dhcp, but my server isn't responding to them.

I'm trying to setup two samba shares on ubuntu server 10.04.1 lts x64
The first is a Read-Only share for windows users that doesn't require a password. This i've managed to do so far.
The second is a Password protected Upload share. So far I am able to have both shares (which access the same directory) but am unable to log in to the pass word protected share.
I know i'm not doing things quite right, and would like a little bit of help
The smb.conf file is the default ubuntu file with these added shares:
Code:
[NAS]
Comment = Network Attached Storage
path = /media/RAID/NAS
browseable = yes
[Code].....

I have been searching google for a while now and have not found exactly what I am looking for. I would like to use my fresh install of ubuntu server 11.04 as my router/gateway for my home. I am not an expert at linux by any means but I can usually figure stuff out. I believe I need iptables, bind, and a few others probally. It eventually will also be a samba server but I have done a little with samba before. I do have 2 network cards, my router at the moment is starting to die and would love to have a more powerful router. I would also like to figure out how to do port forwarding in the router, as well as be able to see the load on the network cards. Maybe there is a program to show usage by user? As well as be able to do packet pritorization.

internet ----------------> eth0 --> linux --> eth1 ----------------> Windows.
i have vLans on both servers. And i need cross connection setup. And use linux in bridg mode / cross connection .
actualy i want to use Iptable rules to filter bad packets and forward good packets to windows. i have scripts how to forward packets to windows. but the problem is i dont know how to setup both servers in this topology. and how to make linux as bridge.
All it should be in transparent mode. Not in NAT mode.
